The forecast was for rain later this morning, and a shower just before the start convinced our enthusiastic young cyclists that it was going to be a wet and windy morning. At least temperatures were finally into double figures today. Michael managed to persuade the group to do a short ride up Wallaford Road to Cross Furzes, by which time things had brightened up a bit, but Will warned Michael not to push his luck with the weather (thinking of the recent snowy ride) so we had to return via Buckfast to avoid any risk of getting wet!

We got home at 11.55 and played Black Ops 3 on the PS3 until 2.50. In the end it didn’t rain again until 3pm.
